From Hirakata-city, Osaka-prefecture, Japan

 August 12 was said to be the best day to watch The Persides so we decided to watch it. I searched good place to watch near here and found hotani . It is about 30 min by car so we went there. The weather condition of this day was cloudy so I guessed there might be 50% chance to watch it. We stayed there about 8 PM till 10 PM but couldn't watch it so we came back home and watched internet live below. It was sad but it might be good memory for our summer holiday.

We went to fukuchiyama city to watch fukuchiyama-castle. Fukuchiyama Castle has become famous for this year's NHK drama "kirin ga kuru" which is a story of Akechi Mitsuhide who built this castle 400 years before and my wife loved this drama very much and she is eager to watch this castle. This day (24 July) was the second day of 4 days' consecutive national holiday and this day was forecasted to rain little in the mid of the rainy season so we decided to go there. This is " Fukuchiyama hidemitsu museum " which is held for one year. In front of this castle, there are some souvenir shops. After watching this castle, we had tea time at western confectionery mountain .

Recently, I've made web-app( notebook of words ) for myself and found that the web is a very powerful tool. So I want to write down some key factors for making this app. Framework & Cloud services In this site, I use framework below   -frontend: Angular   -API server: Node.js & Express   -PaaS: Heroku.com   -DB server: MongoDB(mlab.com)   -Authentification: firebase.com Frontend (Angular) and Backend (Express)  are connected by RESTful API endpoint which I write lately. I also use the official Node.js driver for connecting MongoDB(mlab.com) instead of using mongoose. Image is below. I like server-based javascript language. Before a couple of years ago, I didn't know much about javascript but after using Angular, I've been fascinated by this language. I know object-based language through javascript and typescript. I think javascript is not what it was 10 years ago. It is a modern programing language, I think. I also use VScode & GitHub.  VSc...

In such an unusual situation, there seem to be some tips. I wrote down these things. Using my brain   In a hotel, I tend to lie in bed, watching TV for a long time. Lying in bed is easy and relaxing but it brought down my dairy rhythm. It is also not good for the mental point of view because my physical condition had gotten worse. If this is a few days' stays, it may be no trouble. But spending over 10 days might affect our body. My symptoms are like feeling tired, sleepy always, feeling bad. I think it is an initial symptom of melancholia. So I changed my ordinary routine like this.  - switch off TV  - Instead of watching TV, listing music using Bluetooth speaker via PC or smartphone  - sitting on chair instead of lying in bed.  - using PC, writing something like this, programming using cloud platform(it's same when I was in Osaka)  - reading books of kindle Using the brain is very good because it it stimulates the frontal lobe. (Watching TV fo...

I have been experiencing a hotel life in another area for about 1 month. It was due to the coronavirus. My branch's main office is at Osaka and backup-location is at another area which is not used in an ordinary situation. And in case some employees catch the coronavirus, we have started this business continuity plan that means some employees move to this area, staying at hotel and working at this office for a certain period of time. My turn was started on 27 April. I don't want to eat a lunch box or eat outside every time so I decided to buy food materials that can be cooked using a microwave oven because there are no cooking devices at a business hotel except microwave oven. And I'm very surprised that there are many varieties of such foods at convenience stores or supermarkets like AEON. My ordinary dinner is like  - 1/2 package of vegetables (1 package cost 100yen)  - two packages of foods (each cost around 100-200 yen)  - rice (200g)  - miso s...
